This pendant is designed like a tiny, open window. Five little opal beads are stacked inside the gold frame, and because there’s no backing, light passes straight through them. As you move, the colours in the opals shift and come alive.
The pendant is a long, pill-shaped frame of polished 14K gold. It’s completely open in the middle, and inside, five round opals are lined up vertically. Each opal is held carefully in place by tiny, almost invisible prongs on the sides, which makes them look like they're floating in the frame. It hangs from a delicate cable chain that connects right at the top.
We use solid 14K gold for this piece, which means it’s 58.3% pure gold alloyed for durability. It has a nice weight to it, won't tarnish, and is a safe bet for sensitive skin. The gemstones are genuine opals, chosen for their play-of-colour. Because they're natural stones, the flashes of pink, green, and blue will be unique to your specific necklace.
- Material: 14K Solid Gold
- Gemstone: Five natural opals
- Pendant Shape: Vertical Bar
- Sold as: Single necklace
Most pendants are either a single charm or a horizontal bar. This one’s vertical shape is different; it draws the eye down and has a lengthening effect that sits really nicely on the collarbone. It's a simple change in orientation that completely changes the look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the opals in my Opal Symphony Necklace get damaged easily?
Opals are softer than diamonds, so they do need some awareness. We've set them inside the gold frame to protect them from most side impacts. As long as you avoid wearing the necklace during sports or heavy work where it could get hit directly, it will wear well.
Can I shower with my 14K gold Opal Symphony Necklace on?
It's best to take this necklace off before you shower or swim. While the 14K gold itself handles water just fine, opals are porous. Repeated exposure to water, soaps, and chemicals can cause them to absorb moisture, which can dull their colour and fire over time.
How long is the Opal Symphony Necklace chain and where will it sit?
The necklace comes on a standard chain length that is designed to let the pendant rest on or just below the collarbone. This placement works well with the vertical design. If you think you'll need a different length, please contact us to discuss custom options.
